International ClassG06F 1721AbstractA method is provided for automatically creating a set of master recipes from a general recipe using site information. Each master recipe includes a plurality of recipe segments. The general recipe includes a plurality of process actions. Each master recipe is for manufacturing at least one product from at least one input material by performing the process actions on the at least one input material. Each master recipe is for use with a specific set of equipment in a process cell. Each process action has one or more corresponding recipe segments that implement the process action on the set of equipment. The general recipe describes how to manufacture the at least one product from the at least one input material by performing the process actions on the at least one input material. The general recipe is independent of equipment. The method includes a first step of creating a list of recipe segments from the general recipe and the site information. The list of recipe segments includes each process action in the general recipe and a listing of all the corresponding recipe segments for that process action which can perform that process action in the process cell. The method includes a second step of creating the set of master recipes from the list of recipe segments, the general recipe, and the site information. | |
